NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (the "Company"“Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 8, 1993 as the Cadgie Company for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. The Cadgie Company was a spin-off from its predecessor, Precious Metal Mines, Inc. On June 28, 1996, the Company'sCompany’s name was changed to Metalline Mining Company. On April 21, 2011, the Company'sCompany’s name was changed to Silver Bull Resources, Inc. The Company'sCompany’s fiscal year-end is October 31. The Company has not realized any revenues from its planned operations and is considered an exploration stage company. The Company has not established any reserves with respect to its exploration projects and may never enter into the development stage with respect to any of its projects.


The Company engages in the business of mineral exploration. The Company currently owns a number of property concessions in Mexico (collectively known as the "Sierra“Sierra Mojada Property"Property”). The Company conducts its operations in Mexico through its wholly-owned subsidiary corporations, Minera Metalin S.A. de C.V. ("(“Minera Metalin"Metalin”) and Contratistas de Sierra Mojada S.A. de C.V. ("Contratistas"(“Contratistas”) and through Minera Metalin'sMetalin’s wholly-owned subsidiary Minas de Coahuila SBR S.A. de C.V. ("Minas"(“Minas”).


On April 16, 2010, Metalline Mining Delaware, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was merged with and into Dome Ventures Corporation ("Dome"(“Dome”). As a result, Dome became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Dome has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Dome Asia Inc. ("(“Dome Asia"Asia”), which is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Dome Asia has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Dome Minerals Nigeria Limited, incorporated in Nigeria. On May 15, 2017, the Company liquidated the Company's Gabonese subsidiary, African Resources SARL Gabon ("African Resources"). As a result of this liquidation, the Company recognized a gain on liquidation of subsidiary of $129,781 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2017.


The Company'sCompany’s efforts and expenditures have been concentrated on the exploration of properties, principally the Sierra Mojada Property located in Coahuila, Mexico. The Company has not determined whether its exploration properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The ultimate realization of the Company'sCompany’s investment in exploration properties is dependent upon the success of future property sales, the existence of economically recoverable reserves, and the ability of the Company to obtain financing or make other arrangements for exploration, development, and future profitable production activities. The ultimate realization of the Company'sCompany’s investment in exploration properties cannot be determined at this time.

The compensation cost is expensed when the associated exploration activity occurs. The share-based payments have been classified as equity instruments and valued based on the fair value of the cash consideration received, as it is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the equity interest. InIf the event the optionOption is exercised and shares are issued prior to a decision to develop a mine, such shares would be classified as temporary equity as they would be contingently redeemable in exchange for a net smelter royalty under circumstances that are not wholly in control of the Company or South32 and which are not currently probable.

The Company has adopted a policy of classifying cumulative compensation cost associated with options on subsidiary equity as additional paid-in capital until exercise.

No portion of the equity value has been classified as temporary equity as the option has no intrinsic value.

NOTE 13 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Measurements

All financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded at fair value on initial recognition. Transaction costs are expensed when they are incurred, unless they are directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or the assumption of liabilities carried at amortized cost, in which case the transaction costs adjust the carrying amount.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
 Level 2Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
 Level 3Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Under fair value accounting, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The Company'sCompany’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, stock option liability and warrant derivative liability.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable approximate fair value at July 31, 20182019 and October 31, 20172018 due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.

Derivative liability

The Company classifies warrants with a $CDN exercise price on its interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as a derivative liability, which is fair valued at each reporting period subsequent to the initial issuance as the functional currency of Silver Bull is the U.S. Dollar.dollar. The Company has used the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrants that do not have an acceleration feature and has used the Monte Carlo valuation model to determine the fair value of the warrants that do have an acceleration feature (Note 12). Determining the appropriate fair-value model and calculating the fair value of warrants requires considerable judgment. Any change in the estimates used may cause the value to be higher or lower than that reported. The estimated volatility of the Company'sCompany’s common stock at the date of issuance, and at each subsequent reporting period, is based on the historical volatility adjusted to reflect the implicit discount to historical volatilities observed in the prices of traded warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the government for bonds with a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants at the valuation date. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend yield is expected to be none as the Company has not paid dividends nor does the Company anticipate paying a dividend in the foreseeable future.

The Company reclassifies stock options granted to consultants with a $CDN exercise price on its interim condensed consolidated balance sheets upon vesting as a stock option liability whichthat is fair valued at each reporting period subsequent to reclassification as the functional currency of Silver Bull is the U.S. Dollar. dollar. The Company has used the Black-Scholes pricing model to fair value these stock options. Determining the appropriate fair-value model and calculating the fair value of these stock options requires considerable judgment. Any change in the estimates used may cause the value to be higher or lower than that reported. The estimated volatility of the Company'sCompany’s common stock at the date of reclassification, and at each subsequent reporting period, is based on the historical volatility of the Company'sCompany’s common stock and adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the government for bonds with a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the options at the valuation date. The expected life of the options is based upon historical and expected future exercise behavior. The dividend yield is expected to be none as the Company has not paid dividends nor does the Company anticipate paying any dividend in the foreseeable future.


The derivativesderivative warrants are not traded in an active market, and the fair value is determined using valuation techniques. The estimates may be significantly different from those recorded in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements because of the use of judgment and the inherent uncertainty in estimating the fair value of these instruments that are not quoted in an active market. All changes in the fair value are recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss each reporting period. These are considered to be a Level 3 financial instrument.


The Company has the following liabilities under the fair value hierarchy:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the Company by failing to discharge its obligations. To mitigate exposure to credit risk on financial assets, the Company has established policies to ensure liquidity of funds and ensure that counterparties demonstrate acceptable levels of creditworthiness.

The Company maintains its U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar cash and cash equivalents in bank and demand deposit accounts with major financial institutions with high credit standings. Cash deposits held in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") for up to $250,000, and Canadian dollar cash deposits held in Canada are insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation ("CDIC"(“CDIC”) for up to $CDN 100,000. Certain United States and Canadian bank accounts held by the Company exceed these federally insured limits or are uninsured as they relate to U.S. dollar deposits held in Canadian financial institutions. As of July 31, 2018,2019, and October 31, 2017,2018, the Company'sCompany’s cash and cash equivalent balances held in United States and Canadian financial institutions included $3,230,582$2,273,926 and $578,773,$2,919,461, respectively, which was not insured by the FDIC or CDIC, respectively.CDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts, and management believes that using major financial institutions with high credit ratings mitigates the credit risk to cash and cash equivalents.

The Company also maintains cash in bank accounts in Mexico. These accounts are denominated in the local currency and are considered uninsured. As of July 31, 2018,2019, and October 31, 2017,2018, the U.S. dollar equivalent balance for these accounts was $21,645$85,046 and $25,408,$32,668, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company holds substantially all of its cash and cash equivalents in bank and demand deposit accounts with major financial institutions. The interest rates received on these balances may fluctuate with changes in economic conditions. Based on the average cash and cash equivalent balances during the nine months ended July 31, 2018,2019, a 1% decrease in interest rates would have resulted in a reduction of approximately $2,068$10,693 in interest income for the period.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company is not subject to any significant market risk related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Compliance with Environmental Regulations

The Company'sCompany’s exploration activities are subject to laws and regulations controlling not only the exploration and mining of mineral properties but also the effect of such activities on the environment. Compliance with such laws and regulations may necessitate additional capital outlays or affect the economics of a project, and cause changes or delays in the Company'sCompany’s activities.

Property Concessions in Mexico

To properly maintain property concessions in Mexico, the Company is required to pay a semi-annual fee to the Mexican government and complete annual assessment work.

Royalty

The Company has agreed to pay a 2% net smelter return royalty on certain property concessions within the Sierra Mojada Property based on the revenue generated from production. Total payments under this royalty are limited to $6.875 million (the "Royalty"“Royalty”).

Litigation and Claims

On May 20, 2014, a cooperative named Sociedad Cooperativa de Exploración Minera Mineros Norteños, S.C.L. ("(“Mineros Norteños"os”) filed an action in the Local First Civil Court in the District of Morelos, State of Chihuahua, Mexico, against the Company'sCompany’s subsidiary, Minera Metalin, claiming that Minera Metalin breached an agreement regarding the development of the Sierra Mojada Property. Mineros Norteños sought payment of the Royalty, including interest at a rate of 6% per annum since August 30, 2004, even though no revenue has been produced from the applicable mining concessions. It also sought payment of wages to the cooperative'scooperative’s members since August 30, 2004, even though none of the individuals were hired or performed work for Minera Metalin under this agreement and Minera Metalin did not commit to hiring them. On January 19, 2015, the case was moved to the Third District Court (of Federalfederal jurisdiction). On October 4, 2017, the court ruled that Mineros Norteños was time barred from bringing the case. On October 19, 2017, Mineros Norteños appealed this ruling. On July 31, 2019, the Federal Appeal Court held the original ruling. This ruling has been subsequently challenged by Mineros Norteños. The Company and the Company'sCompany’s Mexican legal counsel believe that it is unlikely that the court'scourt’s ruling will be overturned. The Company has not accrued any amounts in its interim condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to this claim.

On February 15, 2016, Messrs. Jaime Valdez Farias and Maria Asuncion Perez Alonso (collectively, "Valdez") filed an action before the Local First Civil Court of Torreon, State of Coahuila, Mexico, against the Company's subsidiary, Minera Metalin, claiming that Minera Metalin had breached an agreement regarding the development of the Sierra Mojada Property.  Valdez sought payment in the amount of $5.9 million for the alleged breach of the agreement.  On April 28, 2016, Minera Metalin filed its response to the complaint, asserting various defenses, including that Minera Metalin terminated the agreement before the payment obligations arose and that certain conditions precedent to such payment obligations were never satisfied by Valdez.  The Company and the Company's Mexican legal counsel asserted all applicable defenses. In May 2017, a final judgment was entered finding for the Company, the defendant, acquitting the Company of all of the plaintiff's claims and demands. The Company did not accrue any amounts in its interim condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to this claim.

From time to time, the Company is involved in other disputes, claims, proceedings and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company intends to vigorously defend all claims against the Company and pursue its full legal rights in cases where the Company has been harmed. Although the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be accurately predicted due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, in the opinion of management, based upon current information, no other currently pending or overtly threatened proceeding is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Business Overview

Silver Bull, incorporated in Nevada, is an exploration stage company, engaged in the business of mineral exploration. Our primary objective is to define sufficient mineral reserves on the Sierra Mojada Property to justify the development of a mechanized mining operation. We conduct our operations in Mexico through our wholly-owned Mexican subsidiaries, Minera Metalin S.A. de C.V. ("(“Minera Metalin"Metalin”) and Contratistas de Sierra Mojada S.A. de C.V. ("Contratistas"(“Contratistas”), and through Minera Metalin'sMetalin’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Minas de Coahuila SBR S.A. de C.V. ("Minas"(“Minas”). However, as noted above, we have not established any reserves at the Sierra Mojada Property, we are in the exploration stage, and we may never enter the development or production stage.

Our principal office is located at 777 Dunsmuir Street, Suite 1610, Vancouver, BC, Canada V7Y 1K4, and our telephone number is 604-687-5800. 

Current Developments


2018 Private Placement

In July and August 2018, we raised gross proceeds of $3,788,000 in a private placement of units consisting of one share of common stock and one half of one common stock purchase warrant as described in the "

Material Changes in Financial Condition; Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of this Form 10-Q.

South32 Earn-In Option Agreement

On June 1, 2018, we and our subsidiaries Minera Metalin and Contratistas entered into an Earn-In Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement"“Option Agreement”) with South32 International Investment Holdings Pty Ltd ("South32"(“South32”), a wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiary of South32 Limited (ASX/JSE/LSE: S32), whereby South32 is able to obtain an option to purchase 70% of the shares of Minera Metalin and Contratistas (the "Option"“Option”) which holds and operate. Minera Metalin owns the Sierra Mojada Property located in Coahuila, Mexico (the "Project"“Sierra Mojada Project”) and supply labourContratistas supplies labor for the Sierra Mojada Project. Under the Option Agreement, South32 earns into the option by funding a collaborative exploration program on the Sierra Mojada Project. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Option Agreement, in order for South32 to earn and maintain its four-year Option, South32 must contributehave contributed to Minera Metalin minimum aggregate amountfor exploration of the Sierra Mojada Project at least $3 million by the end of Year 1, $6 million by the end of Year 2, $8 million by the end of Year 3 and $10 million by the end of years one, two, three, and four of the four-year Option period for exploration of the ProjectYear 4 (the "Initial Funding"“Initial Funding”). Funding is made on a quarterly basis based on the following quarter'ssubsequent quarter’s exploration budget. South32 may exercise the Option by contributing $100 million to Minera Metalin (the "Subscription Payment"“Subscription Payment”), less the amount of Initial Funding previously contributed by South32. IssuanceThe issuance of shares upon notice of exercise of the Option by South32 is subject to antitrust approval by the Mexican government. If the full amount of the Subscription Payment is advanced by South32 and the Option becomes exercisable and is exercised, we and South32 will be obligated to contribute funding to Minera Metalin on a 30/70 pro rata basis. If South32 elects not to continue with the Option during the four-year option period, the Sierra Mojada Project will remain 100% owned by us. The exploration program will be initially managed by us, with South32 being able to approve the exploration programsprogram funded by it. During June 2018,We received funding of $3,144,163 from South32 for Year 1 of the Option Agreement. In April 2019, we received Initial Funding in an amount equala notice from South32 to $923,000,maintain the Option Agreement for Year 2 by providing cumulative funding of which $627,812 remains unspent as$6 million by the end of such period. In May 2019, we received the initial payment of $319,430 for Year 2 of the Option Agreement from South32. As of July 31, 2018, to fund exploration activities, such as a regional airborne electromagnetic survey.2019, $378,001 of the funds received from South32 is able to terminateremains unspent. If the Option Agreement at any timeis terminated by South32 without penalty other than forfeiture of the Option.  In the event of cancellationcause or if South32 is unable to obtain antitrust authorization from the Mexican government, we are under no obligation to reimburse South32 for amounts contributed under the Option Agreement.

In the event of

Upon exercise of the Option, Minera Metalin and Contratistas are required to issue common shares to South32. Pursuant to a Shareholdersthe Option Agreement, that would be executed by the parties uponfollowing exercise and until a decision has been made by the board of directors of Minera Metalin to develop and construct a mine on the Sierra Mojada Project, each shareholder holding greater than or equal to 10% of the shares may withdraw as an owner in exchange for a 2% net smelter royalty on products produced and sold from the Sierra Mojada Project. Any shareholder whose holdings are reduced to less than 10% must surrender its interest in exchange for a 2% net smelter royalty.

The foregoing description of the Option Agreement is qualified in its entirety by Exhibit 10.1 to that certain Form 8-K filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 7, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 10.1.

We have determined that Minera Metalin and Contratistas are variable interest entities and that the Option Agreement has not resulted in the transfer of control of the Sierra Mojada Project to South32. We have also determined the Option ArrangementAgreement represents non-employee share-based compensation associated with the collaborative exploration program undertaken by the parties. The compensation cost is expensed when the associated exploration activity occurs. The share-based payments have been classified as equity instruments and valued based on the fair value of the cash consideration received, as it is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the equity interest. InIf the event the optionOption is exercised and shares are issued prior to a decision to develop a mine, such shares would be classified as temporary equity as they would be contingently redeemable in exchange for a net smelter royalty under circumstances that are not wholly in control of the Company or South32 and which are not currently probable.

We have adopted a policy of classifying cumulative compensation cost associated with options on subsidiary equity as additional paid-in capital until exercise. No portion of the equity value has been classified as temporary equity as the option has no intrinsic value.

Property Concessions and Outlook

Sierra Mojada Property

In January 2018,2019, our board of directors approved a calendar-year 2018an exploration budget of $655,000 for the Sierra Mojada Property. As a resultProperty of $1.8 million for the Option Agreement,periodfrom January 2019 through May 2019and $1.1 million forgeneral and administrative expenses forcalendar year 2019. In June 2019, our board of directors approved an updatedexploration budget for the Sierra Mojada Property in June 2018 for expenditures that are not expected to be covered by the Option Agreement of $28,000$3.5 million for the period from June 2019 through May 2020. The focus of our 2019 and 2020 calendar year exploration program will be the drill program described below.

Between September 2018 to December 2018.

Drilling
During the nine months period ended July 31,and November 2018, we completed 440 meters of underground drilling to test the continuity along strikea 5,297-line-kilometer helicopter-borne Versatile Time Domain Electro Magnetic (“VTEM”) and down dip of sulphide zones we have identified.
Mineralized Material Estimate
On June 30, 2015, Tuun Consulting Inc. and AKF Mining Services Inc. delivered an amended technical report (the "Report") on the silver and zinc mineralization atMagnetic Geophysical Survey over the Sierra Mojada project in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101.Property. The Report includes an update on the silver and zinc mineralization, whichVTEM survey was estimated from 1,363 diamond drill holes, 24 reverse circulation drill holes, 9,027 channel samples and 2,346 underground long holes. Using a net smelter return economic cut-off, the Report indicates mineralized material in the Lerchs-Grossman optimized pit of 56.8 million tonnes at an average silver grade of 50 grams/tonne silver, an average zinc percentage of 3.4%, an average copper percentage of 0.04% and an average lead percentage of 0.3%. In addition, using the net smelter return economic cut-off, the Report indicates underground mineralized material outside the Lerchs-Grossman optimized pit of 1.9 million tonnes at an average zinc percentage of 9.4%, an average copper percentage of 0.02% and an average lead percentage of 0.4%. Mineralized material estimates do not include any amounts categorizedconducted as inferred resources.
"Mineralized material" as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, although permissible under the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC's") Industry Guide 7, does not indicate "reserves" by SEC standards.  We cannot be certain that any part of the Sierra Mojada project will ever be confirmed or converted into SEC Industry Guide 7-compliant "reserves."  Investors are cautioned notwork program under the Option Agreement with South32. The results of this survey aided in refining the design the drill program. 

Drilling

We commenced an 8,000-meter drill program in April 2019 which was subsequently increased to assume that all or any part12,000 meters under the Option Agreement with South32. We have completed 5,944 meters of the mineralized material will ever be confirmed or converted into reserves or that mineralized material can be economically or legally extracted.

Metallurgical Studies

During

In May 2015, we selected and shipped samples of high grade zinc material to a lab in Denver, Colorado for "fine bubble"“fine bubble” flotation test work and to a group in Australia to assess itstheir proprietary hydrometallurgy process. Previous test work completed by Silver Bull using mechanical flotation has shown an 87% recovery of zinc from the white zinc zone to produce a rough concentrate of 43% zinc, and a 72.5% recovery of zinc from the red zinc zone to produce a rough concentrate of 30% zinc. The "fine bubble"“fine bubble” flotation test work that was performed did not improve recovery, but based on analysis of the results, it was determined that the "fine bubble"“fine bubble” flotation test process may be able to be adjusted to improve recovery. Further testing is not planned at this time.

In addition, we previously conducted a metallurgical program to test the recovery of (i) the silver mineralization using the agitation cyanide leach method and of(ii) the zinc mineralization using the SART process (sulfidization, acidification, recycling, and thickening). The test work on the silversilver-rich zone (the “Silver Zone”) focused on cyanide leach recovery of the silver using "Bottle Roll"“Bottle Roll” tests to simulate an agitation leach system and to determine the recovery of (A) low-grade zinc that occurs in the silver zoneSilver Zone and (B) high-grade zinc from the zinczinc-rich zone that had been blended with mineralization from the silver zoneSilver Zone to the leach solution. The silver was recovered from the cyanide leach solution using the Merrill Crowe technique, and the zinc was recovered from the leach solution using the SART process. The SART process is a metallurgical process that regenerates and recycles the cyanide used in the leaching process of the silver and zinc and allows for the recovery of zinc that has been leached by the cyanide solution. The results showed an overall average silver recovery of 73.2% with peak values of 89.0% and an overall average zinc recovery of 44% in the silver zone.


Airborne Geophysics

During September 2018 we commenced a regional airborne electromagnetic survey. The results of this survey will be used to develop a targeted drilling program on the Sierra Mojada Property.

General and Administrative Expenses

We recorded a general and administrative expenseexpenses of $392,000$419,000 for the three months ended July 31, 20182019 as compared to $260,000$392,000 for the comparable period last year. The $132,000$27,000 increase was mainly the result of a $98,000$52,000 increase in office and administrative cost,personnel costs, a $11,000$24,000 increase in professional services, a $17,000 increase in directors’ fees and a $4,000$42,000 increase in the provision for uncollectible VAT, compared to a $33,000 recovery of uncollectible VAT in the comparable period last year, which was partially offset by a $6,000$107,000 decrease in personneloffice and administrative costs and a $7,000 decrease in directors' fees as described below.

Personnel costs decreased $6,000increased $52,000 to $113,000$165,000 for the three months ended July 31, 20182019 as compared to $119,000$113,000 for the comparable period last year. This increase was mainly due to an increase in employees’ salaries and a $27,000 increase in stock-based compensation expense as a result of stock options vesting in the three months ended July 31, 2019 having a higher fair value than stock options vesting in the comparable period last year.

Office and administrative costs decreased $107,000 to $100,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2019 as compared to $207,000 for the same period last year. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease ininvestor relations activities and travel costs.

Professional fees increased $24,000 to $58,000 for the decreasethree months ended July 31, 2019 compared to $34,000 forthe comparable period last year. This increase is mainly due to an increase in accounting fees and legal fees.

Directors’ fees increased $17,000 to $51,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2019 as compared to $34,000 for the comparable period last year. This increase was primarily due tothe increase in stock-based compensation expense to $5,000$21,000 in the three months ended July 31, 20182019 from $18,000$3,000 in the comparable period last year as a result of stock options vesting in the three months ended July 31, 20182019 having a lowerhigher fair value than stock options vesting in the comparable period last year.

Office and administrative costs increased $98,000 to $207,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2018 as compared to $109,000 for the same period last year. This increase was mainly due to an increase in investor relations activities as a result of the Option Agreement and private placement.
Professional fees increased $11,000 to $34,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2018 compared to $23,000 for the comparable period last year. This increase is mainly due to an increase in legal fees.
Directors' fees decreased $7,000 to $34,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2018 as compared to $41,000 for the comparable period last year. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in stock-based compensation expense to $3,000 in the three months ended July 31, 2018 from $11,000 in the comparable period last year as a result of stock options vesting in the three months ended July 31, 2018 having a lower fair value than stock options vesting in the comparable period last year.

We recorded a $4,000$46,000 provision of uncollectible VAT for the three months ended July 31, 20182019 as compared to a $33,000 recovery$4,000 provision of uncollectible VAT in the comparable period last year. The allowance for uncollectible taxes was estimated by management based upon a number of factors, including the length of time the returns have been outstanding, responses received from tax authorities, general economic conditions in Mexico and estimated net recovery after commissions.

Other (Expenses) Income (Expenses)

We recorded other incomeexpenses of $679,000$1,000 for the three months ended July 31, 20182019 as compared to other income of $194,000$679,000 for the comparable period last year. The significant factor contributing to other income in the three months ended July 31, 2018 was a $665,000 in income from a change in fair value of warrant derivative liability due to a decrease in fair value of warrants with a $CDN exercise price for the three months endedfrom May 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018. The significant factors contributing to other income in the three months ended July 31, 2017 was a $130,000 gain on liquidation of subsidiary and a $66,000 gain from change in fair value of warrant derivative liability. The $130,000 gain on liquidation of subsidiary was due to a realized foreign currency translation gain as a result of our liquidation of our Gabonese subsidiary, African Resources SARL Gabon on May 5, 2017. The $66,000 income from change in fair value of warrant derivative liability was due to a reduction in the value of warrants with $CDN exercise prices issued to subscribers and agents in our private placements.

2018 Private Placement


On July 25, 2018, we completed the initial tranche of a two tranche private placement for 21,776,317 units at a purchase price of $0.13 per unit (the "$0.13 Unit") for gross proceeds of $2,830,921. Each $0.13 Unit consists of one share of our common stock and one half of one common stock purchase warrant (the "$0.13 Warrant").  Each full $0.13 Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one share of common stock at a price of $0.16 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the private placement. We paid a 7% finder's fee totaling $184,070 to agents with respect to certain purchasers who were introduced by these agents. In addition, the agents received 1,011,374 non-transferable warrants (the "2018 Agent's Warrants"). Each 2018 Agent's Warrant entitles the agents to acquire one share of common stock at a price of $0.14 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the private placement. The fair value of the 2018 Agent's Warrants was determined to be $21,973, and the Company incurred other offering costs of $96,124.
On August 20, 2018, we completed the second and final tranche of the $0.13 Unit private placement for 7,365,555 units for gross proceeds of $957,522.

Cash Flows

During the nine months ended July 31, 2018,2019, we primarily utilized cash and cash equivalents to fund exploration activities at the Sierra Mojada Property and for general and administrative expenses.Additionally, during the nine months ended July 31, 2018,2019, we received net cash proceeds of $2,652,000 from the $0.13 Unit private placement, $634,000$143,000 from warrants exercised and $923,000$2,541,000 from South32. As a result of net cash proceeds received from the $0.13 Unit private placement, warrants exercised and funding from South32, which was partially offset by exploration activities and general and administrative expenses, which was partially offset by the net cash proceeds received from the warrants exercised and funding from South32, cash and cash equivalents increaseddecreased from $682,000 $3,026,000at October 31, 20172018 to $3,329,000$2,436,000 at July 31, 2018.2019.

expenses, which were partially offset by the proceeds from the exercise of warrants and funding from South32.

Since our inception in November 1993, we have not generated revenue and have incurred aan accumulated deficit of $124,591,063.$128,676,000. Accordingly, we have not generated cash flows from operations, and since inception we have relied primarily upon proceeds from private placements and registered direct offerings of our equity securities, and warrant exercises and funding from South32 as the primary sources of financing to fund our operations. We anticipantanticipate that we will continue to rely on sales of our securities in order to continue to fund our business operations. IssuanceThe issuance of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete any additional sales of our equity securities or that we will be able to arrange for other financing to fund our planned business activities.   

Anyfuture additional financing in the near term will likely be in the form of payments from South32 or proceeds from an issuance of equity securities, which will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. Moreover, we may incur significant fees and expenses in the pursuit of a financing or other strategic transaction, which will increase the rate at which our cash and cash equivalents are depleted.

Capital Requirements and Liquidity; Need for Additional Funding

Our management and board of directors monitor our overall costs, expenses, and financial resources and, if necessary, will adjust our planned operational expenditures in an attempt to ensure that we have sufficient operating capital.We continue to evaluate our costs and planned expenditures, including for our Sierra Mojada Property as discussed below.

The continued exploration of the Sierra Mojada Property will require significant amounts of additional capital. In January 2018,2019, our board of directors approved a calendar year 2018an exploration budget of $655,000 for the Sierra Mojada Property of $1.8 million for the periodfrom January 2019 through May 2019and a $1,033,000 budget$1.1 million forgeneral and administrative expenses. As a result of the Option Agreement,expenses forcalendar year 2019. In June 2019, our board of directors approved an updatedexploration budget for the Sierra Mojada Property in June 2018 for expenditures that are not expected to be covered by the Option Agreement of $28,000$3.5 million for the period from June 2018 to December 2018.2019 through May 2020. As of August 31, 2018,2019, we had approximately $3.7$1.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. We anticipate that we will be able to satisfy our remaining calendar year 2018 budget with cash on handThe continued exploration of the Sierra Mojada Property ultimately will require us to raise additional capital, identify other sources of funding or identify another strategic transaction.partner. For information about our current strategic partnership with South32, see Note 4 – Earn-In Option Agreement to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).If South32 exercises its option to purchase 70% of the equity of Minera Metalin and Contratistas, under the terms of the Option Agreement, we will retain a 30% ownership in Minera Metalin and Contratistas, and be obligated to contribute 30% of subsequent funding toward the development of the Sierra Mojada Project.  If we fail to satisfy our financial statements.funding commitment, our interest in Minera Metalin and Contratistas will be diluted.  We do not currently have sufficient funds with which to satisfy this future funding commitment, and there is no certainty that we will be able to obtain sufficient future funds on acceptable terms or at all.  If South32 terminatesthe Option Agreement, our funding obligations for the Sierra Mojada Property would increase, likely resulting in a reduction of exploration work on the Sierra Mojada Property. Debt or equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. Equity financing, if available, may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.  If we are unable to fund future operations by way of financing,financings, including public or private offerings of equity or debt securities, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely impacted.
